Abstract
Selecting suitable simulation methods for complex problems requires a careful balance between the predicted accuracy and computational effort. This research comparatively investigated the effects of adjacent loaded pile row on an existing tunnel in terms of tunnel deformation and lining force, displacement of soil surrounding between tunnel and pile and load transfer of the pile. Simulations were carried out by eight simulation models consisting of 3D finite element (FE) full models (model 1-2); 3D FE symmetry models (model 3-4); and a pile wall in 2D FE models (models 5-8). In loaded pile row simulation, simulations were performed with two pile types: volume pile and embedded pile. In 2D simulation, the 3D pile row was converted into 2D pile wall under plane strain condition by using three transformation methods. The results show that the predicted tunnel responses are adequately accurate as long as the reasonable soil movement behavior can be reproduced. The 2D equivalent dimensions and 2D equivalent axial rigidity are recommended since they provide conservative estimation on both tunnel deformation and lining forces. The 2D equivalent flexural rigidity is not recommended if the pile response is also of concern. The novelty of this research lies in the use and discussion on the applicability of various 2D and 3D models to simulate the effects of adjacent loaded pile row on the existing tunnel, as opposed to previous studies which focused on one or two simulation models.
